Hi,
is there a possibility for using the API without making the little blue informations-buttons disappear and changing the box-colors from default to something else? Because this is what happens automatically when I use the API (Javascript-code)...
Many thanks!

Hi Mathilde - I emailed some follow-up questions to you but received a message that said there was no such email address on your server. Can you confirm that the address you listed here - mathilde.linnenberg@ub.uu.se - is the correct one to use? Thanks. - Ken

Hi Ken,
yes, that is the correct one, but it's obviously still not possible to write emails to that adress because I'm only an intern... Maybe you could email me to the email adress I listed now?
Thanks again,
Mathilde

Hi Mathilide - I sent this by email but am adding it here as well.

Hi Mathilde -

My colleague Sarah helped me out with this one. It's not really a bug, but a conflict between different CSS on the page. Fortunately, we have an easy solution in place.

There are two things you should do: First, remove this part of the code . Then, add &css=0 after format=js. So the code should look like this:

That should do it, but let us know if there are any other issues.

Is there a way to have this search box pull from the stylesheet I am using on my LibGuides system? I tested the box out, and it somehow overwrote my entire stylesheet.

Hi Amanda!
What kind of changes did you want to make to it? Please send more details so I can take a look and do a bit of testing - for instance, could you send a link and example(s)( of where you tried this and how your style sheet was overwritten? Are you referring to the look and feel of the LG searchbox itself?
Thanks!

Hi Keely,
Yes, take a look at the following:
